History

The Times was established in 1888 by Albert B. Cavender and Arthur S. McDonald, who built up a circulation of 700 in the paper's first two years. [2] McDonald sold his ownership stake to Fred M. Brown, who later became the sole owner when Cavender also sold out. Brown operated the paper for about 25 years until selling it in 1921 to Jesse R. Hinman. [3]

A. L. Bostwick and Glenn W. Loomis owned the Brownsville Times and Lebanon Criterion until dissolving their partnership in 1923. [4] Loomis sold the The Times a year later to A. M. Byrd and Miles E. Taylor. [5] In 1930, Brown, who sold the paper nine years earlier to serve as deputy state game warden of Portland, required the paper. [6] Leo E. Giles purchased the paper from Brown's wife in 1939, [7] and then sold it a decade later to John L. Roberts, [8] who in turn sold it to Chester "Chet" L. Harding in 1964. [9] [10]

Roberts required the paper in 1968 and sold it in 1985 to Ralph E. Sand. [11] Don Ware bought the paper in 1995 [12] and served as Brownsville mayor while running The Times. Ware sold the paper to husband-and wife Vance and Holly Parrish in 2011. The newspaper published its last issue on Dec. 5, 2024. [13]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Marcy Tigner</span> American Christian childrens entertainer

Marcy Tigner was an American Christian children's entertainer, who released numerous albums for several prominent Christian record labels in the mid-1960s through the early 1980s. She used her natural voice, which had a very unnatural childlike quality. She developed the Little Marcy ventriloquist's doll to aid her performances to give a congruent visual aid to match her voice, and thus toured the United States for several years under the Little Marcy guise for evangelistic crusades and solo concerts. Her last album appeared in 1982, after which she made a few local appearances in Oregon. By the mid-1990s she was entirely retired, but it was about this time that record collectors specializing in "weird" music brought about a re-interest in her output.
